UW picked up veteran wide receiver Omari Evans from Penn State via the transfer portal on Wednesday. Evans had 415 receiving yards and five TDs this past season.

After what happened in State College this past November, Penn State probably owed the University of Washington football team a little something to cover damage

Safety Peyton Waters, UW’s most recent portal entrant, burned his redshirt in 2024 after playing in all 13 games, primarily on special teams. UW added two players at his position from the portal – FIU transfer CJ Christian and Northern Arizona transfer Alex McLaughlin – making it unlikely Waters was going to see the field much next season.

Former Penn State wide receiver Omari Evans announced that he is transferring to Washington. Evans entered the transfer portal following Penn State’s season ending loss in the Orange Bowl to Notre Dame.

Former Penn State receiver Omari Evans, who entered the NCAA Transfer Portal after the Orange Bowl, will play for the Washington Huskies in 2025.

Washington added what seems likely to be their final addition in the transfer portal before the spring tonight by bringing in Penn State WR Omari Evans. The 6’0 senior will have 1 year of eligibility remaining (with a redshirt available) after finishing this season with 415 yards and 5 TDs.
